So, I was playing with my online group tonight, and one of the players made a basic point that I was rather shocked by. As we all know, wands in PFS are purchased at minimum caster level. For wands of, say, Cure Light or Magic Missile, that is assumed to be CL 1. HOWEVER, my player pointed out that wands are crafted at a minimum of CL 5, due to the prerequisite for the feat. Therefore, isn't it impossible to have a a wand with a CL lower than 5, making 5 the minimum level?

As much as I wish it were so...
Some individual items, notably those that just store spells, don't get full-blown descriptions. Reference the spell's description for details, modified by the form of the item (potion, scroll, wand, and so on). Assume that the spell is cast at the minimum level required to cast it.
Bolding mine.

Under magic Item creation
While item creation costs are handled in detail below, note that normally the two primary factors are the caster level of the creator and the level of the spell or spells put into the item. A creator can create an item at a lower caster level than her own, but never lower than the minimum level needed to cast the needed spell. Using metamagic feats, a caster can place spells in items at a higher level than normal.
